I would agree that it's easy to armchair quarterback but I think it's reasonable to say that this should have been expected or at least had come up in ANY standard analysis of potential risks when evaluating a startup that delivered alcohol. If you've bought alcohol, you would know that there are legal requirements to sell it. It's no different than considering other factors that could affect a delivery service like liability if your drivers get in a car accident or tax issues around reselling groceries, etc.
